UTILIZATION

The handle is a reference to Taylor over there and there was nothing wrong, accurate easy
that happiness.
The handling of the guitar is nice, not too heavy.
The access is facilitated by the sharp cut Venetian
The HER !!!!!! Wow, it sends a G chord and presto: SOUND ....
Speaking of sound, I read on some forums that there was a blast when we plugged the 814ce, unless you are completely deaf, I did not hear that
by connecting to a PA 900 Beringher EPA with the controls in neutral position.
Note a small red LED on the electronics Inside the box tells us if the battery still has juice.


SOUNDS

Perfect for picking country music and chords.
Should in my opinion a bit less for acoustic blues, but it can do anyway.
EPA tested with a PA 900 Berhinger that lent me a (real) friend.
The sound is perfectly rendered with all the settings except Neutral a bit of reverb.
I ended up cracking a pure acoustic amp SR Technology JAM 150 more, and marriage is explosive
Note that I followed the advice of the brand Taylor and I use a TRS cable side guitar and XLR on the sound system to enjoy better rendering of the Taylor Expression System.


OVERALL OPINION

I bought it yesterday morning at Guitarshop in Marseille and I do not separate any more, I think I'll sleep with ;-)
I tried other guitars EA including the 714 Ce, but the 814ce has a really big and powerful balanced sound even unplugged.
I also tried a Taylor 414CE to try an amp sound
Jam SR 100 and frankly the difference between 414CE and 814CE obvious and ears.
A counselor without hesitation, it has for its money!
